SYDNEY, Australia — Some day Jamie Dantzscher may be able to find the positives of her Olympic experience but it probably will not be soon.
Dantzscher, a member of the U.S. women's gymnastics team, is home in San Dimas with five of her six siblings.
But Dantzscher's mother, Joyce, 21-year-old sister Jennifer and father John are still in Sydney.
Last Friday John and Jennifer were in a Sydney taxicab. While going through an intersection, the cab was hit broadside by a bus. John underwent brain surgery and is listed in critical but stable condition. Jennifer suffered minor injuries.
Evelyn Godfrey, Joyce's mother, said that John regained consciousness Wednesday and recognized his wife and Jennifer.
While the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney would not release information on Dantzscher, Godfrey said that John suffered a fractured skull, bruised brain, two collapsed lungs, a fractured left wrist, a bruised vertebra and a trachea injury.
"The doctors told Joyce that it will be about six weeks before they would have an idea of how much brain damage there might be," Godfrey said. "They told her that he might be combative, may have epileptic seizures and short-term memory loss. But Joyce said the doctors were encouraged that John recognized his family."
